The Woman Who Lived A Sinful Life - Her Legacy In Scripture

The Woman Who Lived a Sinful Life - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read Luke 7:36 – 50.

1. What did it cost this woman to do what she did?

2. What would need to happen for you to be this open in expressing your love for Jesus?

3. What do you think the woman was thinking while Jesus talked to Simon (verses 40 – 47)? What about when he talked to her (verses 48 – 50)?

4. How would you respond if a prostitute entered your church or home Bible study and made a display like this?

5. In what ways can you be understanding and loving toward those whose lives have been shattered by sin, like this woman? Toward those whose lives are characterized by judging others, like the Pharisee? Who needs forgiveness more?

6. Take some time to think about the debt Jesus has cancelled for you. Think of specific sins for which he has forgiven you. How can you express your gratitude?
